Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

VinAudit is a verifiable, established NMVTIS provider (launched 2011) offering high-utility vehicle history reports at a competitive price point. While the project itself demonstrates strong market fit, revenue potential, and longevity, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people') and missing data fields. The score reflects the project's proven real-world utility and scale, heavily penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the application.
